Ten on Ten - March 2013

I'm finally in my new house.....so enjoy some peeks.....maybe one day soon I'll have time to take real photos and give you all a full tour of the house.  :-)

after 6 months of transition, finally back in my own bed!

one view from the couch in my new house

doing the first real loads of laundry in the new house

8 foot ladder now hangs on the garage wall

spent part of the afternoon switching out traditional incandescent flood lights for more sleek, energy efficient LED  recessed lights

my fancy new tech-y thermostat.....still learning how to use it, but I LOVE being able to control it from my iPhone

shelves assembled in the garage for a place to keep up with the sorted recycling

finally stopped for leftover BBQ chicken pizza from Schlotzsky's

catching up on money stuff and NCIS:LA

one of my favorite springtime sweet treats - I *try* to limit myself to these only at Easter time

Ten on Ten - December 2012

Since my last post, there have been lots of changes in my life.  Officially changed jobs, took a fun trip to London with my Daddy, and am on the road to home ownership again.  More to come on all of that....but for now, enjoy some pics....

love these paper decorations....many years of memories

very cold this morning - been awhile since I had to defrost my car!

my new office....very spacious and in need of some personality!

contract amendment accepted by the seller today....now the countdown to closing really begins!

new job still entails reports and highlighters!

one of my favorite nativity sets in my mom's collection - purchased in the Black Forest in Germany

more vintage Santa decor - been flying down our hallway as long as I can remember

one more vintage Santa - he was around back when my mom was growing up!

I'm more of a snowman girl.....this is one I made probably 30 years ago

Ten on Ten - April 2012

Another workday Ten on Ten....just so hard to be inspired to take photos while I'm at work.  Since my job is very cyclical, each month holds the same tasks around the same time.  So, not only is it just that work isn't fun to photograph, I'm even doing the same thing each time!  So, very few photos through the day and more in the evening.

I do have pretty bed pillows, but the bed rarely gets fully made in the morning. So these live in a box beside my bed.

pseudo ROYGBIV - in highlighter fashion

view to the west out my office window -- with the new Margaret Hunt Hill bridge spanning the Trinity River in view

train graffiti - as seen on the way to dinner

interesting sculpture in Addison Circle

sushi - it's what's for dinner!

Rainbow, Philadelphia and Spider rolls.....yum!!

great idea for upcycled kitchen utensils -- unique decorations!

knockout roses in my front flowerbeds

desk vignette.....pencil holder from an early elementary school teacher, framed scripture from the ACU College of Business, a hand-tooled leather hair tie made by my cousin Randy when he was in high school and I was very young, a glass bluebird gifted to me by sweet Tonie Scott

(all photos taken with iPhone 4S and the Instagram app)
